Question Vortex temperature gauge?

Today I picked up Ricola's Vortex and drove back to Nottingham with no real problems. I'm not comfortable with having a non-working temperature gauge though! Rich gave my a spare (cannibalised) insrument pod, and I notice this uses an old-fashioned thermal, bi-metallic strip type of gauge. In this case then it should be easy to fault-find as the gauge is simply connected between a stabilised voltage source in the instrument panel, and the thermistor in the engine acting as a temperature sendor.

The reason for bringing this up here is that the manuals I have seen say that the temperature gauge is a moving-coil one, which could be more difficult to fault-find on.

Anybody got any experience with this?

thanks,
Chris Morriss.
